Voyages of Discovery. Pioneering journeys that have changed our lives. Voyages of Discovery

Rugged Adventurer Paul Rose tells five stories of adventureon the high seas. These are the dramatic tales of men who set sail into the unknown and made scientific discoveries that changed our world forever. Paul travels to the other side of the world on the trail of great adventurers like Ferdinand Magellan and CaptainJames Cook. But his journey also takes him from the heat of the Ecuadorian jungle to the frozen wastes of the north as he reveals the incredible stories of lesser known explorers whose discoveries changed all our lives, even today. The five programmes featured in the series are

• Circumnavigation which tells the story of Magellan and the first circumnavigation of the globe;
• The Ice King which tells the story of Norwegian Fridjof Nansen the founding father of polar exploration and the first man to set foot on the North Pole;
• Hanging by a Thread recounts how the first ever successful rescue of men from a stricken submarine came about under the command of maverick genius Commander Charles ‘Swede’ Momsen;
• The Figure of the Earth is the incredible story of an 18th century mission to measure the curvature of the earth near the equator – a story containing murder and adultery as well as pioneering scientific achievement.
• The Making of Captain Cook tells the story of the expedition that made the name of arguably the most famous explorer and the voyage to find the mythical southern continent which ‘balanced’ the earth.

Meltdown – A Global Warming Journey. What's really going on?

What's really going on with our climate, and what's it going to mean for the future?

The climate has changed in the past. Are the changes we’re seeing now part of a natural cycle, or are they something we’ve brought upon ourselves? And what can Viking voyages, the freezing of the Thames and ancient Bronze Age settlements on Dartmoor tell us about how our climate is changing? Based on Meltdown, the keynote BBC climate change programme that Paul presents.

Antarctica – From Sled Dogs to Rockets! Living and working in the Antarctic.
Antarctica is the “white laboratory” and is home to world-class scientists. But how is the science supported? How do they do it? What is it like to dive under the sea ice? Why does a drum of aircraft fuel cost over $10,000? What exactly are the scientists, cooks, plumbers, carpenters, pilots, doctors, mechanics, dentists, divers & polar guides all doing down there? ( 2007 is the International Polar Year ).

Television - Without the Safety Net! Undiscovered Britain.
Why did the Oxford University Museum keep a hippopotamus on their roof? Why were the escape hatches on submarines welded shut? Uncover the secrets behind Churchill’s false teeth! Can you launch a pigeon from a submarine? Why are parts of the WW1 German naval fleet orbiting above the earth right now? Based on the BBC series, Take One Museum, which Paul presents.

Cold Expeditions! Greenland - Icecap crossings, climbing unknown mountains, science.
The icecap crossing is a 540 km ski journey that takes 30 days of pulling massive loads, there is no support, it’s cold & there is never enough food. It’s almost impossible. Why do it? And if that’s not enough - climb the highest mountain in the Arctic by a new route. But it’s not all fun – what about ice mining on the west coast of Greenland?

Camels, Mines, Guns and Bad Food! The lighter side of remote field work.
Oil prospect teams in Pakistan and the Middle East, science projects in the tropics and Polar Regions count on smooth running logistics – but it doesn’t always happen! How can you search for oil in a minefield? Swap helicopters for camels? What happens when aircraft stop flying and penguins start flying?

This programme examines field science studies, expeditions and even museum collections to celebrate our never-ending thirst for new discoveries.

Paul presented the Exploring and Risk Taking series onboard the Queen Mary 2 Eastbound Transatlantic Voyage 15th – 21st April 2006. Reviews are outstanding! More QM2 / Oxford University engagements now being arranged.
